I was told repeatedly
that there was no way
to be a good registrar
and a good mother.
I had six weeks off
work and then didn't
breastfeed or express
at work with my f irst
child, because I was
told that I wouldn't
get breaks during
long cases. A lot of
that has changed.
The female network
is much stronger
and many structural
protections now exist.
But if I can be blunt,
some attitudes haven't
really changed and
to achieve genuine
equity, they need to.
